THE refusal of a republican senate to
confirm a negro as register of deeds at
Washington because he is democratic
negro, is evidently acting as an eye
opener in the case Of the blacks, who
were always taught that the republicans
were their only friends. Intelligent and
candid republicans of both races in the
south confass that this performance is
doing a great deal to break down the
color line Thus the Louisville C0BlmeF
eiaL, the leading newspaper of the party
in Kentucky, says No democratic negro
need apply to republican senate for cons
firmation This is fact that will be
heard from in the canvass of 1888"

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb IA bill author
izing a wagon and foot passenger bridge
across the Mississippi river at Dubuque was
passed by the Senate Saturday, together
with sixty pension bills and the Indian ap-
preparation bill The senate refused
take up the bill to reimburse the
depositors of the Freedman's Saw
ings bank The Eads Tehuantepec ship rail
way bill was then considered, and Morgan
spoke in favor thereof, holding that transit
across the Isthmus should be either absolutely
under the control Of the United States or I'M
der our control in connection with the govern
ment Of the territory through which it
passes He Thought this country had been
derelict in the matter of the Panama canal,
and should have notified the world that
certain guarantees must b. given this
country before the canal was built He
thought the presence of British and French
men-of war at the mouth of the Panama
canal suggested an intention on the part of
those countries of taking possession of the is
lands at the mouth of the canal At this
point Hoar suggested hat as but few sen.
ators were present Morgan postpone the
completion Of his speeth until Monday, and
Morgan agreed Hale offered an amend
ment limiting the liability of the United
States to the $500. 0o9 provided for in the
bill, and the senate then adjourned.
The house received messages from the
president vetoing the pension bills in favor
of Cuthbert Stone, A T. Grigg, Franklin
Sweet, Jesse Campbell, r. f. Bennett, Cath
crime Sadler and J. r. Baylor. The grounds
Of veto of the first two are that they are not
entitled to pensions as the FORMER spent his
time in the service either as daserter or in
prison for that offense, and the latter is re-
corded as being completely worthless, obese
and lazy" The other cases are p ending in

IT looks very much as if after the press
ent congress adjourns that there will not
be much left of the surplus which various
people have been worrying over for a
year or two. In a carefully prepared
speech Senator Allison estimated the
revenue for the fiscal year at S4l5, 600, =
900. He then proceeded to show that
the appropriations already passed and
the estimates for the remainder footed up
to 1895 900, 900. 1t only needs the pas
sage of few more pension bills like the
Mexican and disabilities pension bills.
which will cause the expenditure of the
Lord knows how many millions, to pro-
duce deficit instead of surplus. Or the
Blair educational bill, which is as likely
to be passed as not, might answer the
purpose 1t seems very probable that
by the time the Forty ninth congress
passes into oblivion discussion of the
question, what to do with the surplus,
will be entirely superfiuous.

as without sense the rumor that the silver men

Manning impeachei for alleged violation of

Secretary Manning was very much amused
with the story. and said that he had not only
obeyed all the laws to the best of his ability.
but had responded to the repeated demands
of congress for information concerning the
management of his department with the ut
most frankness He also said it would be
quite welcome to him to have congress exer.
else the fullest scrutiny as TO all his official
acts. He felt quite competent To answer for
them either TO congress or to the president.

A naval officer is quoted as saying
anent the possibility of war with Great
Britain ut is absurd to think of de-
Tending our large cities individually.
The only chance in case of war would be
to seize the canal and destroy the locks
with dynamite. Five British gunboats,
once through the canal, could devastate
our entire lake front. The whole truth
of the matter is that We are in no posi-
ton to bluff" For British gunboats to
